The Ludlow Hotel, New York

Clean, elegant, and comfortable

Nothing

Beautiful. Great staff

Staff were super helpful and friendly. We really liked our room overlooking the city and hotel is located just around the corner from Katz Deli, Russ & Daughters and many other fab eateries and bars in Lower East Side. Booking a stay in NY if you are there for the first time can be daunting, so I recommend this property.

Staff at front of house were great and bed too

Food at breakfast and staff and menus in bar and restaurant disappointed

The room had a king size bed that was very cozy and comfortable. Found the staff to be very friendly and always helpful with restaurant recommendations and arranging for a car to the airport.

The dirty French is always good food and the front desk is always friendly and accommodating.

Not a luxurious hotel, but this is a busy boutique with lots of nice feature. The “sky box”, all windows room we had on the 16th floor was a great NYC experience. Nice public spaces, too. Good, fun restaurant and bar. And just 30 paces to Katz’s Delicatessen!

All good. Look, we are a bit new to the lower east side, so there was some learning of the neighborhood. But it was all good.

I’ve written too many reviews of The Ludlow before, I’ll keep this one snappy: it’s my favorite hotel in New York.

Nice stylish property - Great showers and large bathrooms

Room what not ergonomic - very crowded when we were there so that might have affected service - restaurant understaffed and slow. Elevators were slow, small and took forever to access.

The property was beautiful in a fantastic location and the staff was amazing.

The parking garage was expensive.

Location

Gorgeous design. Very friendly staff. Lovely facilities. Gym on the roof has a brilliant view. Katz’s deli on the corner. Great restaurants in the street. Amazing neighbourhood. Nook with a toasty fireplace in the bar is reserved for in-house guests only which makes you feel at home.

extremely clean room and comfortable bed

The staff, cleanliness, room amenities, terrace, lobby, and location were all top notch.

Everything, location and staff

The Ludlow really exceeded our expectations. The location is excellent for exploring Manhattan on foot, our room was fantastic with a great view, the bar was cosy and a lovely place to crash after a long day and all the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We didn't manage to use the gym but it looked great and well equipped.

The air conditioner/fridge in our room were very noisy but this was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise very good stay.

My room was ideally adjacent to the elevator. The staff was solicitous and helpful. I liked the relaxing lounge area in the lobby and hotel location was convenient.

The inside door lock didn't work but was quickly repaired. The toilet was difficult to flush. The bed was very comfortable but the room was smaller than I'd expected or would've liked. And the lighting fixtures, while attractive, emitted insufficient light, not at all suitable for bedtime reading. The rate was okay and I would've been willing to pay more for a larger room if one had been available. However at another NYC in which I'd stayed previously, rates and amenities were similar but coffee/soda was served all day in the lobby/lounge area at no charge to guests + there was a free lite breakfast in the restaurant; and that is my favorite amenity!

We seemed to always wait a while to be able to get the lift to either come tot he lobby (which created a bit of a bottle neck) or to the room floor.

Loved the decor and staff & location

Great bed. Loved the loveseat and chairs in the room. Nice view. Excellent bathroom and luxe shower. Lobby was comfy and great place to spend some time outside of the room.

Key cards kept blocking access to room.

The staff was fantastic. The terrace was super nice, but the room was small.

The room was extremely small, barely fit the bed. But from what I understand this is normal for NYC. Coming from California, I am used to a larger room, with desk, table and larger end tables.

Location was perfect. Amenities and decor were great

Room was a little on the small side

Hands down the best city hotel I have ever stayed in. Amazing staff, amazing design, comfortable and clean and such vibes!

Tout

Rien

Lovely room with terrace

The room was small with little space for luggage

The location was perfect, walking distance to Soho and lots of good shops/restaurants and coffee shops. The interior was gorgeous and the bed was so comfy and spacious.

Nothing.

Great Location for lower east side. Lovely staff Nice lounge area

Breakfast takes a long time

The overall vibe, location & staff service

Cost of stay. That the TV was not a smart tv. Mirroring input did not work for apple. Would’ve liked the option for better/brighter lighting in the room as well as the moody warm lights.

Amazing hotel in SoHo Close to everything We took a high floor room with a balcony- Highly recommend

Location and just really nice

A little more space in the room would have been awesome but it was still awesome

Loved the quirky and individual style

Nothing about the hotel - loved it all…..shame about the smell of dope down the street!

Great location. Fashionable hotel reception, bar and restaurant. Nice room decor and bed. Good wardrobe and storage shelves helped with space.

The room is a bit small, but balanced with decor, location and storage still good.

Location

Food

Great off the tourist map location. Very friendly staff. A chilled-out vibe. No wonder people give it great reviews.

Nothing to dislike unless you want a big corporate hotel ….and if you do, then this isn’t the place or part of New York you want to be!

Staff is friendly and welcoming. Food at dirty French is always spectacular. Double room was actually spacious and very comfortable. Lightening in bathrooms definitely improved.

There’s nothing I didn’t like.

Brilliant location. Excellent hotel. Amazing saff, very friendly and helpful...

Nothing...

3rd time at the Ludlow, the first time 8 years ago, and the hotel remains very well maintained. Staff very nice and competent, breakfast and lunch at Dirty French also good. fitness room on the top floor is small but well equipped and has a gorgeous view over manhattan (also check out the patio for your morning coffee)

nothing

Amazing service, facilities and rooms

Loved the lobby and bar area, also liked the rooms a lot

Love the double room. Size is great and the beds are so comfortable. Love the location and easy of access to the downstairs bar and restaurant.

They were amazing! Accommodated early and late check in. It was our anniversary and they gave us a card and complimentary chilled champagne. Rooms are beautiful and well kept. Detail goes into everything. Experience was wonderful.

Very stylish and cool hotel on the Lower East Side, with a great vibe; very comfortable bed and although the room was compact, had lots of great storage; the shower was fantastic and really appreciated the friendly staff.

Nothing.

The room (and bathroom!) was bigger than I expected, service impeccable and I loved the entire vibe! Will definitely come back again.

virtually everything, the service, the staff.

The breakfast menu could have a bigger choice. The room service staff didn't collect the dirty glasses.

Design was great Location was excellent Staff were friendly but not too friendly Rooms were cool and well designed High quality of finishes and fittings

Not much

Exceptional all around!

Figuring out switching between using overhead shower and hand-held shower wand was a bit complicated, but after some experimentation it made sense enough.

Staff was incredibly helpful, informative and had great hospitality. They went above and beyond to assist us
